Having earned his place in Romanian literary history with his consummate trilogy, La Medeleni, Ionel Teodoreanu published Lorelei in 1935. His critics challenged the dense figurative style of Lorelei, thus it would not enjoy wide dissemination in translation. This study of the translation and adaptation of Lorelei argues that creative processes, both separately and collectively, earn value as primary and generative productions of literary and cinematic text.
At Medeleni is classic work of Romanian literature and a wonderful novel for all ages. Ionel Teodoreanu captivates your mind and your heart and places you alongside his memorable characters: Olga, Monica, and Dan. A novel full of warmth, wit, love, and the pursuit of dreams, the story takes place during the years between the two world wars. It is a delightful account of brother-sister rivalry, and the life of a generally happy, easy-going family in rural Moldavia.Ionel Teodoreanu wrote more than twenty books during his prolific literary career, including the classic Lorelei, but At Medeleni remains his most beloved work. In it, the author drew on his experiences growing up in rural Moldavia. Published as a trilogy, At Medeleni: A Summer in Moldavia is a translation of volume 1 of the trilogy, titled in Romanian, Hotarul Nestatornic. It includes an introduction by A.K. Brackob and is illustrated by talented, young Romanian artist Alexandra Maxim.

"Here finally are Eliade's memoirs of the first thirty years of his life in Mac Linscott Rickett's crisp and lucid English translation. They present a fascinating account of the early development of a Renaissance talent, expressed in everything from daily and periodical journalism, realistic and fantastic fiction, and general nonfiction works to distinguished contributions to the history of religions. Autobiography follows an apparently amazingly candid report of this remarkable man's progression from a mischievous street urchin and literary prodigy, through his various love affairs, a decisive and traumatic Indian sojourn, and active, brilliant participation in pre-World War II Romanian cultural life."—Seymour Cain, Religious Studies Review
„Deschis în fața suprarealismului, a literaturii onirice, a noului val (Nouveau Roman), N. Steinhardt le apreciază și în măsura în care dislocările, discontinuitatea, descompunerile, fracturile de limbaj ori de realitate imaginară sunt urmate de o recompunere, de o reunificare, de o reasamblare după alte coordonate. Pentru că el, pe urmele lui Charles Péguy, consideră că Răul este cel care «nu se compune», care se opune organizării vieții spiritualizate. Cel care în textele sale interbelice, în special în cele din Revista burgheză, aducea un elogiu formelor ca expresii ale onorabilității sociale nu putea desconsidera acum ideea de formă, dimpotrivă. Ceea ce prive...
Hailed as one of the most important portrayals of the dark years of Nazism, this powerful chronicle by the Romanian Jewish writer Mihail Sebastian aroused a furious response in Eastern Europe when it was first published. A profound and powerful literary achievement, it offers a lucid and finely shaded analysis of erotic and social life, a Jew’s diary, a reader’s notebook, a music-lover’s journal. Above all, it is an account of the “rhinocerization” of major Romanian intellectuals whom Sebastian counted among his friends, including Mircea Eliade and E.M. Cioran, writers and thinkers who were mesmerized by the Nazi-fascist delirium of Europe’s “reactionary revolution.” In poign...
